Miley Cyrus Defends Herself Amidst Cheating Rumors

by

Fans were absolutely heartbroken when Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth both came forward to announce their break up. The couple had been on again off again for the last decade, deciding to officially seal their relationship with a wedding last December. Nevertheless the newlyweds’ vows did not last long, as they confirmed on August 10 that they had decided to call it quits. The public response however has been downright shocking, leading Miley Cyrus to upload posts on social media in her defense.

Cheating Accusations Arise

The reason Miley felt the need to defend herself in the first place had to do with a recent trip she took to Italy with friend, Kaitlynn Carter. Both celebrities had just broken up with their significant others when photos of them surfaced of them kissing. This in turn caused Hemsworth fans to accuse the «Party In The USA» star of cheating on her husband. Miley, naturally angered, then took to Twitter to clear the air and her name.

Miley Tells All

On both Twitter and Instagram, Miley wrote several paragraphs in response to the lie. She begins with, «I can accept that the life I’ve chosen means I must live completely open and transparent with my fans who I love, and the public, 100% of the time.» This is in reference to her decision to be a pop star in the first place, and to continue making music and acting post Disney days. She then goes on to address the cheating rumors.

«What I cannot accept is being told I’m lying to cover up a crime I haven’t committed. I have nothing to hide.»

Miley Admits To Mistakes

Miley continued her thread on both social media sites to admit she has not been a perfect example. She confessed to different aspects of her life on and off the red carpet that have been criticized, such as her excessive partying, drugs, and nudity.

Despite this shaky past, Miley made it clear that when it came to her relationship with Liam, she was more than committed. Not only that, but she has grown too.

With any breakup, one hopes to learn and grow from their experiences and former relationship. This is clearly evident in Miley’s case, and she promises that she still loves, and always will love Liam.

A Happy Ending

While fans might be upset that the decade-long duo are no longer together, they can at least be content knowing that both celebrities are going their own paths and trying to do what is best for them. While Hemsworth has decided to be relatively quiet on the topic, Cyrus recently released this new song, Slide Away, based on the relationship and breakup. Her fans can rest easy knowing Miley stated, «I am the healthiest and happiest I have been in a long time.»

How To Correctly Apply Dry Shampoo

by

If you haven’t already hopped aboard the dry shampoo train, what are you waiting for?! Dry shampoo is the miracle product for anyone trying to save time and simplify their beauty routine. With proper usage, this product can enable you to skip washing your hair in the shower for up to five days! Even if you already use dry shampoo, you might not be using the product to its full potential. Or worse- you might not even be using the right kind! We have all the bases covered to ensure you save time and still maintain those beautiful locks.

Step One: Buying The Right Dry Shampoo

First and foremost, not all dry shampoos are created equal. A product that might work well on your friend’s hair that she swears by, might not necessarily be good for your hair. Why? As it turns out, the texture and color of our hair greatly determines what dry shampoo we should be using. People with fine hair would do well with purchasing a volumizing version, whereas people with dark hair should use colored versions. Otherwise, you risk having unsightly white powdery patches in your hair! This video by Refinery29 goes through some of the best drug store finds.

Step Two: Application Is Important

This miracle beauty product should not be sprayed all over your head. It’s best to spray just at the roots, where the oil is most likely to build up over the days. When doing so, make sure to brush through the spots sprayed to create some volume in your hair at the crown and scalp.

Powder versions of dry shampoo are also great, especially if you are traveling and don’t want your aerosol cans to be thrown out going through security. However, in order to ensure you don’t have white patches, it is best to purchase a fluffy makeup brush to accompany your powder dry shampoo. This way you can dab on the powder more easily.

Step 3: Optimal Time Of Application

Most people apply dry shampoo in the morning when they are prepping for the day. However, a trick that will also save you time in the morning is applying it at night. By spraying on the product at your roots before going to bed, you will ensure it is all absorbed by the next day. Your «just rolled out of bed» hair never looked so good!

Step 4: Dry Shampoo Habits To Kick

The most important thing to remember when applying dry shampoo is to never touch your hair afterwards. Although it’s tempting, this just undos the product’s process of absorbing oil. All the oils naturally on our fingers will wind up back in our hair and make it looking even greasier. You should also never apply this product to wet hair, or overuse it in winter. Otherwise, your scalp will actually start to dry out and cause dandruff. Hate to be the one to tell you, but those aren’t snowflakes in your hair!

Everyday Things That Are Causing Your Wrinkles

by

When it comes to getting older, there are certain things that are inevitable like getting wrinkles. However, it is possible to reduce their appearance and prevent our skin from looking creased and leathery. Too much time in the sun without protection is widely known for causing us to age. However, there are many common everyday things that are causing us to wrinkle as well! Start looking your best youthful self by avoiding these!

A Processed Diet

The saying «you are what you eat» has some serious truth to it when it comes to our appearance. Processed and sugary foods such as white bread and packaged snacks cause inflammation in the body. This inflammation then leads to a process called glycation, which weakens the collagen in our skin that makes it supple. The result? Premature wrinkles.

In order to appear (and feel) more youthful, you should reach for more foods that have omega-3 fatty acids, like avocados, olive oil and fish. Additionally, fruits and veggies are full of antioxidants and vitamins that help to produce more collagen, keeping your skin looking its best! This list details some of the very best foods to implement into your diet to maintain a youthful glow.

Alcohol

You don’t have to swear off happy hour with your colleagues, however you should consider reducing your alcohol intake if you want to avoid getting wrinkles. Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it makes you dehydrated (skin included)! It can also worsen your acne and fine lines, causing you to appear older and more tired. By reducing your alcohol intake, your liver will be able to flush out the toxins more easily, leaving your skin smoother and with fewer wrinkles.

Air Pollution

 Yes, air pollutants can do harm to your skin as well. Research has found that chemical-filled air can harm our skin and cause wrinkles in a way similar to damage caused by the sun. If you live in a big city, it’s important to take extra measures to ensure you keep your skin healthy. This can include washing your face at night with micellar water and applying an antioxidant repair cream to your skin. 

Stress

We hate to admit it, but stress takes a major toll on the body beyond the mental impact. Constant anxiety can actually age your brain and disturb your sleep, both of which can make you look older. While quitting a high-stress job is not always a feasible option for people, there are everyday habits we can do to reduce the daily pressures. Meditation and yoga can help you to relax and reducing your daily dose of caffeine can also help prevent anxiety attacks.

Reasons You Have More Acne This Summer

by

Does it feel like your face has suffered an onslaught of acne this summer? You’re not the only one. Despite providing us ample sunny days to boost our tans, the summer months are also infamous for causing more acne. But why? The following causes might be why you are breaking out (even more) this summer.

Blame The Heat Wave

Around the world, numerous countries have been experiencing record-high temperatures due to a heat wave. Even the «Washington Post» called it «the hottest month that humans have ever recorded.» As you can probably imagine, this isn’t good for our health, ranging from global environmental effects to even our personal skin issues.

As logic would have it, hotter temperatures lead to more sweating. The majority of us don’t have the time or means to stay refreshed throughout the day. This means all that sweat mixes with pollution in the air and just sits on our faces, causing our pores to be blocked.

That’s not all. From all the sweating, we are more likely to touch our faces and try to wipe off the sweat, be it with our hands, shirts, or towels. This constant touching and rubbing only worsens the situation, irritating the skin and causing it to flare up in even more breakouts.

Your A.C. Is On Full Blast

When suffering a heat wave, naturally the only thing one really wants to do is to sit inside in the cool air conditioning. However, A.C. typically removes moisture in the air, which can be very drying for your skin. As a result, your skin will try to produce more oil to compensate for the dry air. This in turn creates extra oil build up within our pores. Now combine that with the nasty heat and humidity and you’ve got a formula for guaranteed breakouts.

You Tried To Use Too Many Acne Solutions All At Once

Waking up to new white and blackheads can be panic-inducing. However, the solution is not to go heavy with the topical treatments filled with different acid formulas. If your skin regime isn’t used to using different medications, it can cause your skin to have an adverse reaction. The balance of the oils will be out of whack, and for some people can cause all your future zits to pop up at once. Talk about a TOTAL NIGHTMARE.

How To Fix Your Acne This Summer

Most importantly, avoid touching your face at all costs! Rather than washing and scrubbing multiple times a day, it is best to wash your face twice a day with a soft foaming cleanser. When it comes to air conditioning, rather than endure the unbearable heat with zero electricity, try adding a humidifier to rooms to make sure the air keeps some moisture. And if that red monster on your face needs something to control it, you can use a salicylic topical treatment, but sparingly. Once a day is plenty!

Apply Eyeshadow Flawlessly On Aging Eyes

by

As we get older, our skin starts to change and that includes the skin around our eyes. In addition to using anti-aging cream to help reduce wrinkles, there are other tricks that help to reduce the appearance of age when applying eye makeup. Crow’s feet and creases are no match for these eyeshadow tips!

Hydration And Moisturizer Are Key

A good makeup application begins with having healthy, smooth skin. Having hydrated skin ensures that eyeshadow can glide on smoothly, which is important to consider with skin being more prone to drying as we age. To properly moisturize the area around your eyes, you should use a hyaluronic eye cream. It is best to apply this cream on your eyelids and under your eye prior to using eyeshadow and makeup. These creams tend to be lighter and absorb easily, making them perfect for daytime use.

Prime To Make Eyeshadow Stay Put

Professionals swear by priming before putting on eyeshadow for its incredible staying power. A good primer can be used for people of all ages to ensure powders don’t get caught in the crease, causing unattractive streaks of makeup on our eyelids. Using a primer is even more important as we get older, for our eyes typically start to become more hooded, making them more prone to creasing.

Ditch The Glitter And Powder Eyeshadow Formulas

As our skin care routine changes as we get older, so should the types of eyeshadow we use. Overall matte eye shadow is better than shadows with lots of shine and glitter, for these formulas often settle into creases. Powders can also stick to our fine lines, so a cream shadow is the ultimate solution.

As for the best colors to use, nudes and taupes help with making eyes look bigger and brighter. However, you should ultimately wear the eyeshadow color that makes you feel your best!

Victoria’s Secret Signs Their First Transgender Model

by

Victoria’s Secret has been criticized in the past for not having enough diversity among their models. However, they are finally breaking some ground with their latest casting of Valentina Sampaio, the company’s first ever transgender model. The news was announced by the Brazilian model on her Instagram account, in which she uploaded a picture of her in a behind-the-scenes photo shoot for Victoria’s Secret’s Pink.

Valentina additionally shared the importance of this hire with a second video on her Instagram, which she captioned «Never stop dreaming genteee.» The model received over 63k likes for the groundbreaking news.

A Pioneer In The Modeling Industry

Valentina has been considered a pioneer in the modeling world for her many firsts and achievements as a transgender. She was the first transgender to ever be the cover model of Vogue Paris in 2017. Since then she has also appeared on other Vogue, Elle, and Vanity Affair covers around the world. However, being chosen to be an Angel for Victoria’s Secret just might be her biggest achievement yet.

Fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels In Support Of The Decision

Other Victoria’s Secret Angels were also pleased by this statement-worthy decision. Angel Lais Ribeiro even took to Twitter to speak out her delight.

A Direct Response To Victoria’s Secret’s Darker Days

The decision to hire Valentina as the first transgender is likely a direct response to a shocking comment made by Victoria’s Secret exec Ed Razek last year. He said he would never hire a transsexual for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show because «the show is a fantasy.» His comment caused the company to receive major backlash, including from one of its musical guest performers, Halsey.

In November Razek officially released an apology for his anti-trans statements. And less than a year later, we have arrived at the day when a trans will now grace the photos and ads of Victoria’s Secret. We hope the decision to include more diversity only keeps growing from here!
